Heart Palpitations And Irregular Beat Posted: 05-25-06 00:58am
Lately i've been getting heart thumps and
flutters or what feels like an irregular
heartbeat every day. It will feel like
slow slow fastfastfast slow
fastfastfast....Or some other combination.
It never seems steady. And if i'm
exerting myself in any way my heart beats
so hard and upon inhalation it gets super
fast and exhalation a lot slower beat.
Sometimes it feels like my heart is
actually causing my body to jerk from
beating so hard, and I get dizzy
sometimes. Also, almost a lump feeling in
my throat or the feeling of a little beat
in my throat and sometimes breathing in
makes me have to cough and it feels like
my heart is causing it or something. Has
anyone else had anything similar? I've
been diagnosed w/ anxiety disorder before,
but I don't believe many docs because you
always hear of people dying because
doctors don't do thier jobs and don't pay
attention to the patient's concerns. I'm
afraid of a heart condition or arrhythmia.
I've had heart xrays, chest ct, ekgs and
tests for blood disorders. All have been
okay. Would it have been found already?
Or what tests should I ask for to rule out
a condition or arrhythmia?

Yeah mine gets really bad if I exert
myself in any way. But it's also just
there sometimes when i'm relaxing. Docs
have told me the ekg's have been fine, but
i'm not going to believe it, because i've
seen so many stories about doctors messing
up, and I have a few experiences with
that in my family alone. So naturally I
don't trust doctors since they don't
listen and pretty much write everything
off as anxiety without checking for
possibe causes of it. Maybe it is just
anxiety but i'd love to know that the Dr.S
did everything they could to make sure
it's not an actual condition or something.
I think when I get home in a few days
i'm gonna ask the doc if they could do
that thing with the heart monitor that you
wear for a few days. I think those work
better than just ekgs anyway.

The nurse I talk to said if somethign was
bad then they would put me on the monitor
but if nothign sems wrong then there is no
need too.
It sucks tho eh recently its like I sit
there and wait for them then they hapen
and I freak out. Damn thump or sometimes
its like a few irregular or outta rhymtim
beats..
